"What’s the best complement for an album? Without doubt, it’s a box! I made and album and its box using one of my favorite collections, Nature Sketchbook. Love sets and this is a perfect one. You can store the mini album into the box and also use the box to store for more photos." ~Marina BlauKitchen

Tip:Fussy cut the whole page and then combine the elements to decorate the box or your album.

Tip: At the time of composition, think about the dominant color of your project before choosing the rest of embellishments. You can use the same range of colors for a smooth effect or use a complementary color that contrasts and highlights your work. If you are not sure how it will look, consult a color wheel that will help you to choose the most suitable one.

Tip:Think about the balance of your composition, add or remove elements before you glue them permanently and check which is the option you like the most.

Now, see Olga take an altered can and make it beautiful with Nature Sketchbook! See all the possibilities with this gorgeous paper?

"I altered can with Nature Sketchbook collection. It’s a perfect collection for all nature lovers. Endless possibilities and outrageous amount of butterflies, flowers and leafs to make your fussy cutting. I love to match them with solids from this collection and Solids will be amazing for Layout and card bases . I cut out this big colorful butterfly and with distance foams i made it really dimensional. This can is very deep so even my dimensional composition and all embellishments fit inside and create nice shadows. I'm planning to give it to my mum she loves nature and butterflies so it will be nice spring accent in her home." ~Olga
